I know a customer who faced a power crisis and one part of the solution was to consolidate storage to a new HDS frame. Those spinning round things consume the same power if they hold 300GB or 72GB. The important thing for the big RAID vendors is to provide a level of performance and QoS with the same capacity on half or even a quarter of the drives. Good point.
